[TOEC] 9A CW Contest SJ2W

[Mikael Larsmark]

Hej alla glada

Ja, tanken var att köra testen i HP-klassen men tyvärr ville inte 
automattuningen av steget fungera så det fick blev att jag körde 
barfota. Jag hade dock skoj och överträffade mitt förra SOAB resultat 
trots att jag denna gång körde LP. Jag har iaf blivit spöad av DJ1YFK 
men förhoppningsvis är det inte så många fler som kört mer. Jag får 
försöka ta revanch nästa år då jag förhoppningsvis har mer hårdvara att 
förfoga över, framförallt på 40m!

Comments:

I had plans to do the contest high power but when I arrived to the QTH 
and was gonna test the amp something is wrong with it. So I decided to 
go barefoot and was about to quit a few hours in but stuck in there. I 
slept 2 hours but sat in the chair rest of the time.

I am happy with the result, new SM record at least and I beat my old HP 
record too which was taken at the old QTH. I suffered from just having a 
vertical on 40m, but next year this will be improved and I'll try to do 
a good result in the HP category instead. First time > 1000q for me in 
this contest. Last year I did SB 80 which was not to recommend so this 
year even though LP it was a lot more fun.

US signals on 20 were amazing but extremely low activity. Fun to work 
W7LR on 160m with just 100W (!) and also a few other big guns.

FT1KD + IC-7400
160m: 37m vert + 8 bevs
80m: 4-SQ
40m: Vertical
20m: 6el mono
15m: 6el mono
10m: 6/6el mono

Next one will be CQ 160 CW! Tnx for all qsos!
